I'm not exactly sure what really is going on but I've seen some people say in the past that he's become "blacklisted" because of the rumors that he's homosexual. I clearly could care less what his preferences are off the field, if the guy has talent and can help win games thats all that matters to me. I'm just not sure exactly where he's at when it comes to playing football at this point in his career._________________

So he got desean jacksoned. Imma have to somehow put in a word on him to atlanta. At least for a tryout_________________

Which begs the question, what exactly are we doing at TE? Just going to stick with Toilolo and add some camp-body depth?

In addition to Tight End I am scratching my head at what the F.O. is planning to do at Free Safety. It seems we haven't talked to any of the Free Agents left on the market and have not had any sort of contact with the draft prospects except for (possibly) Ed Reynolds.

How do you all think we will address these glaring needs on our roster?_________________formerly MadAtFalcons

Im not worried about the TE spot whatsoever. Matt Ryan is supposed to be a top 8ish QB, and if he cannot be successful with Julio, Roddy, Douglas, and Toilolo as his weapons, then we arent going anywhere anyway. I think we've been spoiled by TG. How many teams in the league actually have big weapons at TE? 5-7 maybe, and most, if not all, do not have the fire power that we have at receiver.

Toilolo might not be a gamebreaker like Gronk or Graham, but he is a huge body that has shown to be a nice weapon in the red zone, in limited time._________________

I agree with the notion that when our Receivers are all healthy we won't need an elite TE and Toilolo can do everything we need him to be i.e. create opportunities in the red zone. Still, we have no depth and I would like to see us make an offer to a vet with some experience.

I am definitely more worried about FS than TE as our offense is a lineman or two away from being elite again, whereas our defense is looking porous on every level. If we can grab OT/FS/Pass Rusher in the first three rounds we should be alright but even so Safety is a position that will be lacking any viable depth as Ishmael and Motta never showed anything last year despite the opportunities provided by DeCouldnts horrible play. I just wonder if TD and co have a plan other than securing Clowney/Mack in round 1 and letting the rest of the chips fall where they will after that._________________formerly MadAtFalcons

Im sure we will bring in some kind of vet. TD might be waiting til after the draft to see exactly what we end up with. Who we look at might drastically change. If we get a guy like Fiederowciz in the 3rd, then we might just bring in a roster filler thats on the same level as Coffman, but if the board is less favorable, and we only get someone like a Gillmore or Grimble in the 5th or so, then TD might be more inclined to go after a Owen Daniels, Ed Dickson, or Kellen Winslow._________________

I'm all for bringing in Owen Daniels or Ed Dickson on a one year, close to vet min, prove it deal. It's not that I think that Matt can't get by without a good TE, it's just having more options, the better. Plus, our RZ offense sucks even when we have Gonzo, so imagine it without.

Hopefully this is all solved when we're 9-0 and Gonzo comes back for another season. _________________

Sam Bradford is about as good as Matt Ryan, so when the Falcons get a good QB we can call each other.

Very happy about this, would fill the need at FS, allowing us to move that 2nd rounder to move up and get Clowney/Mack_________________
